CUET UG 2026 cutoff is expected to remain high for top central universities, especially in popular courses such as B.Com (Hons), Economics, Political Science, English and high-demand science programmes. A broad trend shows that DU may again stay at the top end, while BHU, JMI and JNU will also remain competitive in their strongest programmes.

CUET UG BHU Cut Off

BHU is expected to attract strong competition again in 2026, especially in commerce, science and a few arts programmes. Compared with DU, BHU cutoffs are usually a bit more moderate, but top courses still close at very strong scores.

CUET UG BHU Cut Off
Popular BHU Course	Expected Cut Off Range 2026
B.Com (Hons)	460–540

CUET UG JNU Cut Off

JNU cutoff trends are very course-specific, and the university remains especially competitive for foreign language programmes. Many high-demand language courses are expected to stay in the 90-plus score zone for the general category. Since JNU has limited seats in these programmes, even a small increase in demand can push the closing score upward.

CUET UG JNU Cut Off
Popular JNU Course	Expected Cut Off Range 2026
B.A. (Hons) Arabic	80–90
B.A. (Hons) Chinese	90–94
B.A. (Hons) French	89–97
B.A. (Hons) German	90–95
B.A. (Hons) Japanese	92–96
B.A. (Hons) Korean	93–99.5
B.A. (Hons) Spanish	88–95

CUET UG AMU Cut Off

AMU follows a slightly different pattern because students often track its merit lists more closely than a single fixed marks cutoff. In many cases, AMU admissions are discussed through qualifying percentage, merit position and list-wise movement rather than one universal closing score.

CUET UG AMU Cut Off
Course Name	General (UR)	OBC	SC	ST
B.A (Hons) Arts & Social Science	50–55%	45–50%	40–45%	35–40%

B.Sc (Hons) Chemistry	50–55%	45–50%	40–45%	35–40%
B.Sc (Hons) Mathematics	50–55%	45–50%	40–45%	35–40%
B.Sc Life Science	50–55%	45–50%	40–45%	35–40%

CUET UG JMI Cut Off

JMI is expected to remain one of the strongest CUET options for humanities and language programmes in 2026.

Factors Affecting CUET Cut Offs

CUET cutoffs do not depend on marks alone. Every year, the final closing score changes because universities consider competition, seat availability, category rules and how students perform overall.

Number of applicants for a particular course and university
Difficulty level of the CUET UG exam paper
Total seats available in the programme
Reservation policy and category-wise admission rules
Popularity of the course, college and campus location

CUET Result 2026

CUET UG 2026 result is expected in June 2026 usually around two to three weeks after the exam ends. Students will be able to check their scorecard online by logging in with their application number and date of birth on the official CUET website. The result will carry subject-wise scores and will become the base for counselling and admission rounds across participating universities. After the scorecard is released, universities such as DU, BHU, JNU, AMU and JMI will begin releasing their own admission lists and cutoff updates.

FAQs

Is CUET UG 2026 cutoff released?

No. The official 2026 cutoff will be released only after the CUET UG 2026 result and the counselling process start at each university.

Does NTA release one common CUET cutoff?

No. NTA releases the result, but participating universities release their own course-wise and category-wise cutoffs or merit lists.

What is a safe CUET score for DU in 2026?

For top DU colleges and popular courses, students should aim as high as possible. A safe band is often 700+, while the most competitive honors courses may need much higher effective scores.

Why is JNU cutoff shown on a smaller score range?

JNU cutoff trends for many language programmes are often discussed in a different score scale based on course-specific admission mapping, so they may not look similar to DU or BHU tables.
